Learn from history! |
In the late 1700s some people wanted democratic rule. Conservative
elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that the
king ruled by God's will.
In the mid 1800s some people wanted to end slavery. Conservative elements
of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that God approved of
slavery.
In the early 1900s some people wanted to give women the vote. Conservative
elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that God
made women inferior to men.
In the mid 1900s some people wanted to end segregation. Conservative
elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved God wanted
to keep the races separate.
When you look back at how your parents and grandparents dealt with these
things, are you ashamed or proud?
Now some people want to allow gay marriage. Conservative elements of the
church are pointing to the Bible and saying it proves God hates
homosexuality.
When your children and grandchildren look back at how you deal with this,
will they be ashamed or proud?

Fundamentalist Christianity is no different from any other cult. It needs a
boogeyman du jour to keep the sheep scared and the coffers full.

That's certainly true but as history shows, they will end up being the
losers.

If you are proud of democratic rule you should not be asking for gay
marriage.

In our last episode <311bcrF360eemU4@uni-berlin.de>, ernobe lept out of
the bushes shouting:
When you look back at how your parents and grandparents dealt with these

If you are proud of democratic rule you should not be asking for gay
marriage.
You're talking tyranny of the majority. Dictatorship of the proletariat.
Which I think has been tried before...
